It is always time to start with a new way. Do not waste time. You have the freedom to make choices. Make them Sane and Sensible ones.

I believe that educated people can alter foolish ways of living, bad eating habits and create time for physical fitness and weight balance..

Start with the refrigerator and the kitchen area. Eliminate everything that is not healthy, synthetic, plastic and filled with oils. Look at the foods and condiments you consume………skip the fancy preserved junk. Use simple choices, products that are digested easier.

Drink clean water and natural juices. Fruit nectars look great, but are loaded with sugars and preservatives. They could not have shelf life if they were not that way. Do not buy the picture, buy what you will swallow and hopefully benefit from. I like to choose a juice and water instead of drinks, coffees and café concoctions.Milk is great and as a night drink. I love it with warm water, cinnamon and honey, a quick treat and great night cap. Soya milk, Rice Milk, Carob powder and agave are choices that work for your health.

Eat a mixture of vegetables and fruits. Go for a raw salad with a simple dressing. Olive oil, honey, herbs and lemon juice. Have steamed vegetables once a day with herbs and grated cheeses. Use whole-wheat rice and couscous, barley, soya garbanzo beans, lentils good pastas for quick and easy meals. Do not make a habit of using ready soups. Just create the stock you need at home {look at the blog of Preparing for winter] and make soup in twenty minutes. Home made soups are fresh, healthy, free of complicated additives and are comfortably digested. Ideal for older people, little kids and anyone who needs a warm, quick meal.

Breads should be chosen well. Look at the sugar and salt content. If you do not feel good when you eat wheat, choose spelt and rye bread. Remember crackers are useful and easy…but check the preservatives and salt and oil content.

Cereals should be simple. Granolas are better without added salt and oil. You can cook a quick oats and porridge within five minutes. Add cinnamon and honey and it is the best.plate of good food.

Find the best milk and do not use fancy yogurts. Buy good cheeses and not over processed and treated against fats, cholesterol, low fat and a host of disguises. Cheese should be cheese, not a rubbery glue with promises of being free of everything.

Clear the fridge and kitchen of tins and preservatives. Replace with herbs and spices, lemons, olive oil, honey agave syrup, natural pomegranate, grape and cranberry juices. Vegetable juices are a natural boost post operative and for vegetarians and kids. They are loaded with minerals and vitamins. Speak to your Doctor and check which vitamins you need, do not go for trends and fads, or special offers

EAT AND DRINK FRESH AND TRASH THE REST. MY PROGRAMME SANE AND SENSIBLE IS NOW FIFTY YEARS OLD AND I BELIEVE IT MAKES ME WHAT I AM…. FULL OF ENERGY AND ENJOYING WHAT I SELECT, COOK, EAT AND ENJOY.

About Me

Welcome..LIVE YOUR LIFE WELL.

I was brought up in rural South Africa and live in Israel on a farm. I feel lucky to have had earth and sky as my scenic world. I have lived with rainbow people and learned a great deal from all of them. My fascination with people, nature, environment, flowers, animals, books, theatre, films, music and art, gave me a hunger for more learning each day. I lectured over the years on health, beauty, natural cosmetics, perfumes, vegetarian and natural foods and supplements, and products that are not tested on animals and are ecologially friendly. I am active in volunteering work and have done this for over forty years. I find creativity a gift to share and it is a way of finding joy in simple things. My family, children and grandchildren are the joy of my life, and my friends are treasures I respect and devote time to. Meditation and healing are part of my life time studies and my health store that I started in the late sixties was a vision I knew that would grow and feed many minds with food for thought. I believe that every experience helps us to grow and learn. The difficult ones and the unexpected hurdles have given me new insights to think about and cope with. My day is what I create and at the end of it, I balance it all and say THANK YOU to my Creator. I appreciate the good earth and would like to pass a better world to our chilren and grand children.Thankyou for your questions and I look forward to sharing many moments with you all.
